No one knows.
One came up with a new theory that it is a combination of "fales" = penny and "tin" = muddy soil... LOL.
The way I heard it was that the syrians did not want these people in their own country so they moved them all to a portion of the country near Israel.
Yassir (that’s my baby) Arafat head came up with the idea that Palestine was a country when it was just a segregated group of syrians that Syria didn’t even want.
He’s also the POS reason that you have to take off your clothes and take off your shoes at the airport
These were the syrians that Syria didn’t want. And if you look at them you can see why.
Our national government sends hundreds of millions $ annually to these barbarians.
It comes from the Roman’s... They called that area of their empire Palestine.
This is hilarious. And Palwatch.org documents how our tax money eventually goes to pay-for-slay in plas-tinian death cukt.
The Philistines were Greek invaders who settled in the area around 1200 BC.
The modern Arabs have nothing in common with the previous Palestine.
Yes, Varda. And hence “Syria Palestina.”
Bkmk
philistines
I thought old Palestine (from the word Philistine), under British Control after driving out the Turks in WW I, was to be divided between Israel and Jordan.
Even the Jordanians wanted nothing to do with them so basically told them “You are on your own!”
Some wanted to send the Jews of Europe to Uganda. Hitler wanted to send them to Madagascar. When Rommel failed to capture the Suez Canal, they started up the gas chambers.
I read that somewhere also.
There’s no ‘p’ in Arabic. The Arabic name is pronounced ‘Falastin’. The name goes back to ancient Egypt, who claim to have driven out the Peleshet from Egypt proper. The Peleshet were neither Arabic or even Semitic.
The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article on Palestine says the only people in Palestine the call themselves Palestinians are the itinerant herders. The rest identify themselves with neighboring states or Egypt.
Yes.
From פלשתים (”Plishtim”), which is transliterated to “Phillistines”. It comes from the word פלש (”polash”), which means “to invade”.
Fakestinian. 😏

British occupied Palestine. WWI and WW2.
